Comments from the artist:
Sun`skin is an extremely feminine work; I thought of the skin of a goddess to her brightness, then of the sun to her strength and majesty.These waves, impetuous and full of grace like the rays of the sun and the folds of the sun,dress of a goddess….

Art enriches life and its ultimate function is to make people happier.
